Solana Labs Launches Mobile Platform, Reveals Android Smartphone
Summary
Lastly, SMS includes Solana Pay for Android, which enables mobile payments via the platform. The device, which will feature top-tier, flagship-level specs—including a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processor, 6.67” OLED display, 12GB RAM, and 512GB of storage—is set to release in early 2023. Saga will have a “secure element” hardware module to help empower the Seed Vault feature and keep users’ private information protected from exploits and attacks. Early buyers will receive a limited-edition NFT marking the launch of the phone, which is also described by a press release as a “first ticket to influencing the direction of the SMS platform.” As part of the Solana Mobile Stack launch, the Solana Foundation will establish a $10 million developer ecosystem fund to provide grants to mobile creators. “Solana can revolutionize so much of what we do everyday, but we need to open the possibilities for decentralized apps on our mobile devices in order for this potential to be realized.”
